The Baby's Quilt

Sewing on the Binding

I have been waiting on the U.S. Postal Service to post this blog.  In what seems like a lifetime ago, Ross and I were neighbors with two sisters.  They gardened and we gardened.  They liked to cook and Ross cooked (and I like(d) to eat). They liked to make drinks and we liked to sit outside, talk, and imbibe (remember the red roofies anyone?).  There was chemistry there.

Well time moves on and so did the sisters, and then we eventually moved to Connecticut.  Ross has kept contact over the years.  We were excited when the one sister got pregnant with her first child.  She had a girl, and Ross made her a baby quilt. She is about ready to give birth to her second child, and lo and behold, a second quilt was sent.  Of course I could not release this blog until we had confirmation that the blanket was delivered by the U.S. Postal Service, or else I would ruin the surprise.

Ross does a great job making his quilts.  When we were at the Post Office, a gentleman had overheard the conversation between us and the postal worker about the blanket. He stopped and complimented Ross on his work.  It's nice to get such positive feedback (I never get tired of that small town feel).  Maybe one day Ross can sell his quilts too!
